Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AHS (Army Health System) is a component of the Military Health System (MHS) that is responsible for operational management of the health service support (HSS) and force health protection (FHP) missions for training, predeployment, deployment, and postdeployment operations. The Army's MEDLOG system (including blood management) is an integral part of the AHS in that it provides intensive management of medical products and services that are used almost exclusively by the AHS and are critical to its success. Also key to this success is the delivery of a MEDLOG capability that anticipates the needs of the customer and is tailored to continuously provide end-to-end sustainment of the AHS mission throughout full spectrum operations. Providing timely and effective AHS support is a team effort which integrates the clinical and operational aspects of the mission. The provision of MEDLOG support requires collaboration between the medical logisticians, clinicians, and other health care providers within the operational environment and encompasses the following functions: Medical materiel procurement and distribution (acquisition, receiving, shipping, storage, and stock record/property accounting); Medical equipment maintenance and repair; Optical fabrication and repair; Management of patient movement items; Production of medical gases; Blood storage and distribution; Medical hazardous waste management; Management of medical facilities and infrastructure; Medical contracting support; Total product life-cycle management of medical materiel and equipment. This manual describes the capabilities of the MEDLOG system and its role in sustaining the AHS mission. Medical logistics support for deployed forces is the primary focus of this manual. However, generating force or national strategic-level MEDLOG support is also addressed to present a clear picture of the processes involved and resources expended to guarantee a Class VIII support infrastructure. This Class VIII infrastructure ensures the seamless delivery of health care from the point of injury through successive roles of care to the continental US (CONUS) support base. This publication opens with an overview of Army MEDLOG, followed by a description of each MEDLOG unit, the capabilities available, and role of care where each element may be employed. This manual also covers the information systems and enablers available to facilitate the flow of supplies and equipment throughout the area of operations (AO), as well as the current force (Medical Force 2000, Medical Reengineering Initiative, modular division, and brigade combat team [BCT] force designs) and emerging concepts scheduled to occur as part of current and future force fielding events.

This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field manual (FM), “Army Health System Command and Control Organizations,” establishes command and control (C2) doctrine for the provision of Army Health System (AHS) support in echelons above brigade (EAB). It discusses all roles of care within the theater. The AHS is the overarching concept of support for providing timely medical support to the tactical commander. This publication is designed for use by medical commanders and their staffs that are involved in the planning and execution of medical operations in the EAB. The AHS is a complex system of interrelated and interdependent systems comprised of ten medical functions. The synchronization of these systems is essential to ensure that all of the capabilities resident in the AHS can be optimally employed to provide a seamless health care continuum from the point of injury or wounding, through the successive roles of essential care within the area of operations (AO) to the continental United States (CONUS)-support base for definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care. The medical functions align with medical disciplines and specialty training and the capabilities required to provide state-of-the-art care to Soldiers regardless of where they are physically assigned. These functions include: medical C2, medical treatment (area support), hospitalization, dental services, preventive medicine (PVNTMED) services, combat and operational stress control (COSC), veterinary services, medical evacuation, medical logistics (MEDLOG), and medical laboratory services. The ability of AHS commanders and leaders to coordinate health service support (HSS) and force health protection (FHP) requirements and to synergistically task-organize and augment lower roles with medical specialties and medical materiel, when required, maximizes the utilization of scarce medical resources, enhances patient care capabilities, and ensures the AHS is responsive to the tactical commander's concept of operations.

This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-02.55 Army Health System Support Planning September 2015, replaces FM 8-55 and updates key planning topics while adopting current terminology and concepts as necessary. The AHS is a complex system of interrelated and interdependent systems which provides a continuum of medical treatment from point of injury or wounding through successive roles of medical care to definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care in the continental United States (CONUS), as required. Planning is an essential element which facilitates the successful accomplishment of the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) mission. The medical planner, by carefully applying AMEDD doctrine and principles, is able to provide the best possible AHS for all Army operations. The AHS provides support to forces deployed across the full range of military operations with its various operational arrangements. The AHS is a complex system of highly synchronized, interrelated and interdependent systems comprised of ten medical functions. It is a system of systems. The medical functions align with medical disciplines and specialty training with the capabilities required to provide state-of-the-art care to Soldiers regardless of where they are deployed or assigned. The functions include: medical mission command, medical treatment (area support), hospitalization, dental services, preventive medicine services, combat and operational stress control, veterinary services, medical evacuation, medical logistics, and medical laboratory. Army Techniques Publication 4-02.55 consists of four chapters and four appendixes as follows: Chapter 1 provides an overview of the characteristics of the AHS, its principles, functions, the role of medical care, and medical planning factors. It also discusses the fundamental aspects used by medical planners to determine the best possible AHS to support Army operations. Chapter 2 describes the ten medical functions and how they are aligned with specific medical disciplines of health service support (HSS) or force health protection (FHP) or sustainment medical tasks. It also provides the primary purposes of the functions to give the medical planner a planning reference point to work from. Chapter 3 provides guidance for some of the unique complexity inherent to AHS planning. It also provides a brief review of and references the Army planning process and how it applies to AHS planning. Chapter 4 discusses some of the many different and unique factors, terms, and computation the medical planner can use to develop the AHS estimate. Appendix A provides a detailed example of the AHS estimate with planning considerations. Appendix B provides an explanation of rate calculations and provides some of the more commonly used rate formulas. Appendix C provides an example and guidance on the preparation of an AHS appendix to an operation order (OPORD) or operation plan (OPLAN). Appendix D provides a methodology to manually calculate hospital bed requirements. It includes current and historical information to perform the calculations to assist in preparing the AHS estimate.

This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Army techniques publication (ATP) is a consolidation of currently existing publications which address the treatment aspects of the Army Health System (AHS). The publications being consolidated into this ATP publication include: Field Manual (FM) 4-02.10, 3 January 2005; FM 4-02.19, 31 July 2009; FM 4-02.25, 28 March 2003; FM 4-02.51, 6 July 2006; and FM 4-02.56, 6 July 2006. This publication is intended for use by commanders and their staffs, command surgeons, AHS planners, and Army Medical Department personnel and units. This publication addresses the casualty care aspects of the health service support mission under the sustainment warfighting function. It describes the various organizational designs for the units providing this support and doctrinal guidance on the employment of these organizations and their functional capabilities. The staffing and organizational structures and positions presented in this manual are established in tables of organization and equipment (TOEs). These tables were current at the time this manual was published. The organization of these units is subject to change in order to comply with manpower requirements criteria outlined in Army Regulation (AR) 71-32. These organizations are also subject to change at the unit level in order to meet wartime requirements and changes are reflected in the units' modified table of organization and equipment (MTOE). The AHS is comprised of a system of interrelated and interdependent systems synchronized to provide a seamless continuum of care from the point of injury, wounding, or illness in a deployed area of operations (AO), through successive increments of greater capability and complexity to definitive, convalescent, and rehabilitative care in the continental United States (CONUS)-support base. Historically, the systems have been referred to as medical functions and include: medical mission command; medical treatment (area and organic support); hospitalization; dental services; preventive medicine services; veterinary services; combat and operational stress control (COSC); medical evacuation (to include medical regulating and en route medical care); medical logistics (to include blood management); and medical laboratory services. With the publication of FM 3-0 in February 2008, the missions of the AHS were placed under two different warfighting functions, where previously they had only been included in the combat service support battlefield operating system. The two warfighting functions which now contain AHS missions are the sustainment warfighting function and the protection warfighting function. The transition from the battlefield operating systems to the warfighting functions required a new approach in describing the capabilities of the Army Medical Department. Under the sustainment warfighting function, the mission to provide health service support is comprised of three major components-casualty care, medical evacuation, and medical logistics. Casualty care encompasses medical treatment (organic and area support), hospitalization, the treatment aspects of dental services and combat and operational stress (behavioral health and neuropsychiatric care), and clinical laboratory services. It also includes the treatment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)-contaminated patients. Under the protection warfighting function, the mission to provide force health protection is comprised of preventive medicine, veterinary services, the preventive aspects of dental services (preventive dentistry) and combat and operational stress control, and the area medical laboratory.

This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-02.43 Army Health System Support to Army Special Operations Forces December 2015, remains generally consistent with FM 4-02.43 on key topics while adopting updated terminology and concepts, as necessary. Army Health System support to ARSOF is challenging in that ARSOF are lightly equipped with limited organic support assets. Therefore, they must be self-sustaining in all areas of medical care throughout the range of military operations. Since they routinely operate in undeveloped joint operational areas without established support systems, ARSOF medical personnel must assume both AHS missions of health service support (HSS) and force health protection (FHP) responsibilities. Army Techniques Publication 4-02.43 contains the following six chapters and three appendixes: Chapter 1 provides an overview of AHS support and its mission to provide health care to Soldiers across the range of military operations. It identifies and discusses the purpose of the AHS, reviews the roles of medical care and the AHS principles. Chapter 2 discusses the missions and activities of ARSOF. It also examines ARSOF medical capabilities and the range of medical personnel and their responsibilities serving in ARSOF. Chapter 3 lists the AMEDD medical functions and their relationship to ARSOF. In addition, there is a comparison of AHS support between conventional forces and ARSOF. Chapter 4 discusses planning for AHS support to ARSOF. It focuses upon planning requirements for a number of core activities. Chapter 5 focuses upon AHS support to ARSOF in joint operations and the various considerations involved in joint task force (JTF) planning. Chapter 6 examines medical logistics (MEDLOG) support to ARSOF and its unique requirements. Appendix A provides an explanation of the law of war, which includes the Geneva Conventions, and the protections afforded to conventional medical personnel, medical aircraft, and medical materiel. Appendix B discusses medical evacuation planning in the support of ARSOF missions and units. Appendix C discusses the relationship between special operations (SO) mission command in the joint environment.
Download or read book Medical Evacuation Atp 4 02 2 Fm 4 02 2 written by Department of the Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication 4-02.2, "Medical Evacuation," provides doctrine and techniques for conducting medical evacuation and medical regulating operations. Medical evacuation encompasses both the evacuation of Soldiers from the point of injury (POI) or wounding to a medical treatment facility (MTF) staffed and equipped to provide essential care in theater and further evacuation from the theater to provide definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care in the continental United States (CONUS) and the movement of patients between MTFs or to staging facilities. Medical evacuation entails the provision of en route medical care; supports the joint health service support system; and links the continuum of care. In addition, it discusses the difference between medical evacuation and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), as well as coordination requirements for and the use of nonmedical transportation assets to accomplish the CASEVAC mission. The Army Health System (AHS) is a complex system of interrelated and interdependent systems which provides a continuum of medical treatment from the POI or wounding through successive roles of medical care to definitive, rehabilitative, and convalescent care in the CONUS, as required. Medical evacuation is the system which provides the vital linkage between the roles of care necessary to sustain the patient during transport. This is accomplished by providing en route medical care and emergency medical intervention, if required, and to enhance the individual's prognosis and to reduce long-term disability.
